Complaint Review: Kevin Hudson

Without a doubt, the biggest mistake I made was signing a contract with Kevin Hudson to build my pool and trusting him at his word.  And in my previous line of work, I literally worked with hundreds of contractors.  And I would routinely use this line:  All I ask is that you do what you said you were gonna do.  If it's a little off - that's okay; just get it close.  Kevin Hudson definitely challenged me on this constantly.  And whatever agreement we had one day, was totally forgotten the next.  According to his subcontractors that I spoke with, he hates putting things in writing.  After five long, agonizing months, I understand why.  Like other posters have written: His work is shoddy at best.  And when there are problems, he blames his subcontractors.  Several told me that they didn't care for Kevin Hudson; but they say that he gives them work.  And in this economy, that's pretty hard to come by.  Kevin Hudson treated my home as a work site - nothing more.  His workers parked on my lawn - and tore it up when they sped off after work.  They constantly borrowed my tools - and broke them, or just left them wherever they finished using them.  They continually left unsightly messes in both our front and back yard - without any concern of any dangers to my family and guests.  Everything from broken saw blades  to razor knife blades - and of course their leftover trash from their lunches; they had absolutely no regard for our home.  Kevin kept telling us that they would clean everything up AFTER they were done with the job - five months later.  After they would leave, I was never sure of when they would return again - maybe a week, or two, or three.  In my opinion, it really did not concern Kevin Hudson; he was out looking for other jobs.  He is a GREAT salesman - that's for sure.
